About this item
Can Love Form Amidst Tensions of WarDuring the clash between Union and Confederacy, quiet Tennessean Pearl MacFarlane is compelled to nurse both Rebel and Yankee wounded who seek refuge at her family's farm. She is determined to remain unmoved by the Yankee cause - until she faces the silent struggle of Union soldier Joshua Wheeler, a recent amputee. The MacFarlane family fits no stereotype Joshua believed in; still he is desperate to regain his footing - as a soldier, as a man, as a Christian - in the aftermath of his debilitating injury. He will use his time behind enemy lines to gather useful intelligence for the Union - if the courageous Rebel woman will stay out of the line of danger.

About the Author
Shannon has been writing one thing or another since third grade and finished her first novel at age fifteen - but waited more than thirty years for her first book contract. In the meantime, she graduated from high school, attended college, met and married her husband, birthed nine children, lost one, taught five to drive, revised that first story innumerable times, and completed six others. Her first published novella, in (Barbour, 2013 & 2015) , was a 2014 RITA® nominee, and her most recent one, in was a 2021 SELAH winner. She writes regularly for Colonial Quills, is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Faith-Hope-Love Christian Writers, and is represented by Tamela Hancock Murray of the Steve Laube Agency. Transplanted to North Dakota after more than two decades in Charleston, South Carolina, she loves losing herself in local history. When this homeschooling mom isn't cooking, researching, or leaking story from her fingertips, she enjoys being outdoors, basking in the beauty of the northern prairies.
